Can anyone tell me what is happening in this gif? I am only paying attention to one part.

I'd hate to be a member of 343i. I couldn't wake up in the morning every day, and have to look in the mirror to see the face of a person who helped ruin one of the greatest franchises in gaming.

I mean, that's pretty heavy. Hope none of them own guns.
Yeah dude. You are way over-reacting.

Has anyone PMed a mod yet?

Get this shit out of here, dude.

Oh, whine more.

Fine, it was poorly phrased. I'm just saying, I couldn't look myself in the mirror after making a multiplayer experience like this. If they have the character to move on under the burden of what they've done to a property people once loved, good for them.
 
Surely you are talking about Microsoft and not 343 there silver?

Even Microsoft employees would probably bitch slap you in terms of intelligence. It's not easy making a service like live.

Yeah this banning thing is pretty stupid and they deserve a lot of flak - but discrediting their intelligence is just as stupid.

Now the marketing and pr team who made up this 14 day buy and play thing - they are the stupid ones :p it's not the live service teams fualt that they are having to mess around with stuff they probably wouldn't normally touch just because the pr guys made up stupid program's to save face.

If you are just talking about the general state of multiplayer then sadly I think it's by design :( pretty bad design!

Well...

I know 343i is ruining halo but come on man no need for that.

However, H3 has been great to me and still is.

Uh, no. I'm talking about the multiplayer experience. That's on 343i.

What Microsoft is doing on top of it is just gravy.
 
Halo 4 is awesome. Screw the haters. Sure there are issues, and it's not my favorite in the series, but it's significantly more fun than reach ever was. I've already surpassed my games played on reach in Halo 4.

Thanks, mods.

It's a video game. I'm all for colorful metaphors but some things are just across the line, regardless of how disappointed you are in the game (and I'm one of those very disappointed people).

Wow catching up with the thread, glad this guy got banned, I also dislike some stuff with the game but wondering why the developers didn't kill theirselves because of the game is just stupid.


Now onto this banning stuff in Halo 4, what a mess, this game doesn't stop to make me laugh, How can something like this be so dumb. Amazing.

I fear for this next junior wave.


Like, real bad.

Who ended up staying with the last batch of juniors? All I can remember is myself and ExWife.

On a completely unrelated note, I didn't bring my Xbox home with me for Christmas Break. Figured I could spend a little time away from it, and the time I'd spent playing it at home could and should be spent with my family.

Anyhoo, I did manage to bring my 3DS home. Picked up Mario Kart 7 and New Super Mario Bros. 2 this weekend from Toys R Us (sweet deals on games, by the way). These games are just... fun. Sometimes it's nice to just sit back and play a game that's sole purpose is to have fun.

so i got thrown out into the lobby between games and my network switched to xbox and won't change back to live. I guess I am banned?

What's the official word on this?

Is 343 intentionally banning people who did't pay for the map pack?

RIP League. (sorry Ramirez)

I think there was a group after yours that produced no one of mention.

What I mean is the 3DS is more portable and easy to pick up. I can chill in the living room (or anywhere, really) and chat with the family, friends, etc. It's just easily accessible. I can play it for ten minutes, pause where I'm at, throw it in my pocket, and pick it back up whenever I feel like it, right where I left off.

I'm a console gamer through-and-through, but the disadvantage of playing a console is 1.) you have to have a television, 2.) you have to remain stationary while playing it (you're limited to wherever your TV is), and 3.) it's a little more difficult to pry yourself away from a console game after ten minutes of playing (I'd say a normal gamer spends at least one hour per play session).

It's good to get a little different gaming flavor every now and then. Plus my 3DS/DS backlog is crazy long.

I usually just block off all gaming during the holidays if I visit or family is visiting.

Me too most of the time. I'm on break from school, so I have a couple weeks here to relax and chill. Feels good to just hang out on the back porch and stomp on some Goombas or read a book.
 
Haven't been following up to the minute info, but is it safe to go online now if I'm a LE user?

I'd like to have a couple games before bed.

So uh...is this a new thing? I don't remember seeing this when I last checked challenges the other day, and the rest have not updated so it can't just be a "new this week" kind of thing.

Are the Waypoint challenges going to go away when this shameless cross-promotion totally legitimate competition is over? (Probably not, but it's interesting that the first Waypoint challenge to appear is tied into their marketing deal with Virgin.)

Am I totally off-base for thinking that branding challenges is kind of gross?

The in-game Infinity Challenge playlist's image and description both being fat ads for Virgin Gaming and Ford doesn't help (especially being a replacement for the most popular playlist in the game).

I've been moving house this weekend and not had any internet.

So wait, have they actually been banning people who bought the LE for playing on the maps that they paid for? And nobody's been around on a weekend to fix it again? And this is almost certainly the result of them messing around with configurations being pushed beyond specifications, trying to get this stupid idea of expiring the Crimson pack that marketing invented last week and nobody believes to actually work?

Blimey.
